    This is the Debate Commission changing the rules as the host not one of the parties. I will point out to that the Trump camp asked for several rule changes leading up to the last debate.

    Obviously if one party doesn't agree they can choose not to debate.

    He also wasn’t following the original rules (2 minutes uniterrupted) that they agreed to... if anything, the commission should simply announce they’re going to do a hard enforcement of the rules.

    Trump doesn't have to show up.

    I am so touched by the out pouring of love from you guys for Mr Trump. I just got a bottle of Remy Martin Louis Xiii cognac from the wife today. My blindboy musician partner from SoCal is here for the rest of the week to finish up with a couple of songs we just wrote.

    We will raise a cup for you guys tonight when we are tearing into that bottle.

    Cheers.

    The one time he was on prime time debate television with the whole country watching would have been a good time. He always does this okie doke where he fails to do it when he's front and center and then shows up later with prepared statements. We've seen this time and again. Not a new phenomenon.

    You can't unwhistle a dog whistle -- I think you know that, and I don't think you're really defending the dude who has retweeted white supremacist content, has said there were "fine people" shouting "Jews shall not replace us!" and told the Proud Boys, in front of the nation, to "stand by."

    This doesn't even get into scores of other statements related to people of color, his birtherism, his lifetime of work against Black renters, his calls against the central park 5, and on and on, as faaaarrrrr back as you want to take it. The dude is clear, and we may as well be able to just admit it and talk about it. I'm not calling all his followers racist, but this guy, the guy himself: walks like a duck and has always talked like a duck. I don't get someone twisting themselves in a pretzel to find some way that, just perhaps, he's somehow a decent human being in really good camo.

    More than the times he refuses to do it and more than the times he tweets his supporters shouting white power and refusing to condemn them.

    dodging rules and quitting shows more weakness than agreeing to mutually agreed rules or edits to rules

    Stick a fork on Trump. He is done.

    I predict these red states will go to Biden: Arizona, Iowa and N. Carolina.

    You can do debate on Zoom.

    This is the constant internal struggle of the Republican voter. @ROXRAN is a great example. In one thread he's ******** on the grave of a giant in American civil rights and trolling people over her death because he's a garbage human being. Then in another thread he's pulling his good ole boy routine. A solid 30-40% of Americans are awful, terrible people and it's time to recognize it.

    That would be some funny crap right there...

    I can see Trump jumping up and down throwing a temper tantrum when they mute him...
